Do you want to teach in a setting that genuinely transforms young lives?

Are you passionate about creating a classroom where every pupil feels safe, understood, and supported to take the next step forward?

Aspira Education is recruiting a KS3 SEN Teacher to work with a small class of pupils with SEMH needs in an alternative provision.

This is a full-time, long-term role starting in January, working Monday–Friday, 8.40am–3.10pm, with extended finish times of 4.10pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You'll be teaching no more than 10 pupils, supported by a strong team who understand the challenges and rewards of SEMH teaching.

Whether you've worked in alternative provisions before or come from a mainstream background with strong behaviour experience, this is an opportunity to work in a setting where your resilience, consistency, and calm leadership will make a meaningful impact every single day.

About the Role

  • Teach and support a KS3 class of up to 10 pupils with SEMH needs.
  • Deliver structured, engaging lessons that balance academic progress with emotional regulation and personal development.
  • Maintain a calm, predictable environment with clear routines, boundaries, and high expectations.
  • Work collaboratively with behaviour mentors, support staff, SENCOs, and senior leaders to meet each pupil's individual needs.
  • Build positive relationships grounded in patience, respect, and restorative practice.
  • This position is ideal for someone who is resilient, consistent, and able to see the reward behind the challenge.

What We're Looking For

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) (essential)
  • Experience teaching pupils with SEMH or in alternative provision settings.
  • Strong behaviour management and the ability to remain calm and solution-focused under pressure.
  • Confidence delivering KS3 curriculum content and adapting it to a wide range of abilities.
  • A genuine belief in inclusion, second chances, and helping pupils re-engage in education.

We welcome experienced SEMH teachers as well as teachers from mainstream settings with the right skillset and resilience.

All Applicants Must Have

  • The right to work in the UK.
  • A clear, Enhanced Child Workforce DBS.
  • QTS recognised by the DfE
  • Two recent references.
  • A willingness to complete free online safeguarding training if required.

What You'll Get

  • £149–£220 per day, depending on experience.
  • Free CPD-accredited SEMH/Safeguarding training through the Aspira Training Academy.
  • Ongoing support from an experienced SEN-focused recruiter.
  • A secure, long-term role in a setting where your work will genuinely change outcomes for pupils who need it most.

You bring the resilience. We'll bring the support. Together, you'll make a real impact.
